It's clear where you stand on the issue...and I'll join you in your stance. Our town is too small to have issues like this come up, but we have over 400 homeless people in a town of 30,000. The thing is...they are next to invisible. I don't know where they are or what they do...where they go...someone has done a good job of hiding them. Perhaps they hide themselves?<BR/><BR/>Homelessness is a HUGE problem in the U.S. and it seems we overlook it in favour of the issues other countries are dealing with. I wish we'd fix our own problems before telling others how to fix theirs.

There was a 70-something woman who slept in a restaurant doorway at night. She was a 'normal' person, not really much different from me. She told me there was no place where she could go. The one shelter only allowed her to stay one year and then it was back to the streets. People brought her food. Someone gave her a warm sleeping bag. She told me she used her SS check for a motel room twice a month. I was (am) too selfish to bring her home. Instead I bought her a one-way bus ticket to a place she suggested. I haven't seen her since so I hope the move brought her a better life.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269682668189456166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-21518273242873868762008-11-18T19:05:00.000-08:002008-11-18T19:05:00.000-08:00I love the irony of this photo!I love the irony of this photo!Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565411359244793126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-71351969584317164302008-11-18T08:56:00.000-08:002008-11-18T08:56:00.000-08:00We haven't got to the point of churches setting up...We haven't got to the point of churches setting up tent cities but we have had tent cities and to the best of my knowledge they've always been torn down. Even though cities have failed miserably at solving homelessness they don't even seem to have the collective will to find a creative temporary solution. <BR/><BR/>It's a total embarrassment.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763611338613325523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-64965369147207462342008-11-18T02:33:00.000-08:002008-11-18T02:33:00.000-08:00My friend teaches at a school nearby and told me a...My friend teaches at a school nearby and told me about this camp being set up. I get the impression that Nickelsville is a quite contentious issue in the neighborhood. We can only hope that one day we won't even need places like this.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760524359294548467noreply@blogger.com
